HIS + HERS: VDAY GIFT GUIDE.

Hello, lover. I've been in a super romantic setting…my living room, plus one plus-sized cat, watching The Bachelor...in order to be in a heart-shaped state of mind to come up with this gift guide just for you. What can I say? I am a giver. Forget "will you accept this rose," my ideal Bachelor would ask, "will you accept these clothes?" Yes, darling. The answer will always be yes. XO

FOR HER
VDAY LOVIN.

FOR HIM
VDAY LOVING FOR HIM.

TRENDING AT TARGET: ALTUZARRA.

It is no secret that I have an extreme relationship with Target. I am either in a full-blown manic state shoving everything into my cart from pine cone snow owls to that goat cheese Archer Farms pizza (you know the one), or I am extremely depressed about the fact that I am going to have to sell my first born to pay for the 12 lamps I am pressing by body against on aisle 7. It's fine, it's totally worth it.

As expected, the Altuzarra for Target line is on-point. Could this python tee be any cuter? In my opinion, the best pieces to help transition your wardrobe between seasons are the most versatile ones that you can wear again & again. I love this tee dressed down with denim cut-offs now (as seen here on my Instagram), but could just as easily throw a blazer over it & wear it to my office.

That's a wrap on this week, unless of course, you are me and work all weekend. Gotta fund that fall wardrobe, ya heard. Have a great Friday and don't forget to take advantage of the S&D give-away!

GLAMOUFLAGE.

The weekend is so close I can taste it, AND on top of that, I am off! <squeals> That being said, I have zero plans and really just want to lie around with Coco and maybe get a little pool action in if the weather behaves.

Last night, I went to support my girl My Style Vita at her Gap event where I got to ooh and aah over their new arrivals while shoveling chia seed pudding from True Food Kitchen into my face. Bliss. Here is what I wore:
Blouse (similar) / Jeans / Zara Pumps (similar) / Bag / Necklace

 Unapologetically loving camo right now and I'll never give up on distressed denim. #SorryMom
Off to shoot some more looks tonight with my lovely Moet on Stella!

FROSTING ON TOP.

So, along with my addiction to shoes, my clothing addiction and my addiction to chewable Airborne, I also have a raging addiction to statement jewelry. I have a lot of problems. It's really getting hard to keep up with all of the new news coming out this season, so I compiled a little visual wish list for reference. Anything to procrastinate my impending workout, really. Crystals > Cardio.

I just ordered #1 for an event next week, as they are currently on sale for $18. You heard me. I really can't wait to see them up close and real personal like. Also, if you don't have #4 yet, we probably can't be friends. I am obviously at least 65% kidding, but do yourself a favor and invest. Your wrist will thank you. Well friends, my weekend starts now. Nothing like a Sunday that is really your Friday. Did someone say wine?

MONDAY KICK-OFF: FALL HAUL PART I.


How is it Monday again already? No, but really. This weekend was a super fun blur. I worked Saturday, then went out to Atkins Park for dinner in the pouring rain with my presh friend Brandi (which was worth it for the caprese alone). Then finally, Sunday was the boyfriend's birthday (yay!) and we watched all of season one of House of Cards. Couldn't move. Couldn't look away. We are an exciting couple, no? Honestly, after all of our travels and then a full week of work, it was so nice to be glued to the couch in our pajamas. I am sure he will be so thrilled I am telling you all of this. Anyway, after all of this recouping, today I finally got my butt in gear, cleaned house and got a manicure. It's incredible what a fresh coat of gel can do for one's attitude.

It rained…again. NECKLACE: The Courtney Bib
The dapper Birthday Boy.
Gelish polish: Make You Blink Pink
I also did a little online shopping this weekend with my favorite monthly Express coupons & got started on my Fall-Haul. These hauties are en route to their new home, avec moi:
express fal-haul

I am never really fully ready to accept the end of Summer, but always get excited for it once the stores start switching over to their Fall floor sets. Is there anything better than the Fall closet? No. Please don't tell my 964 bikinis I said that.

GRAY SUNDAY.

I had every intention of doing an outfit post today, but it is currently monsooning in Atlanta, rain forest style, and has been all weekend. I swam to work yesterday morning & we were dead, dead, dead. Rain tends to make people forget that they need to find a new apartment. Since I've been trapped inside, I have had some idle time to browse around and these are the latest items I am coveting:
1. This ear cuff from Baublebar keeps calling me back to it.
2. These Rag & Bone booties have been torturing me for a while. Very much needing.
3. I got a sample of this Perricone MD OVM skin cream & after using it for a week, am dying to buy a full-size jar. 

Back to packing. We leave Thursday, so today I took my sweet Coco kitten to my Mom for safe-keeping until we get back. My apartment is a little quiet and lonely tonight without her! Let's all try and forget that tomorrow is Monday, deal?
Packed & ready for Grandma's.
